[150TH] [PPLNS 0.5%] Jonny's Mining Emporium (bravo-mining.com)
So we all know what happened with Nexious, and a bunch of people got burned. We also know that it seems to be the latest fashion for newbie accounts to announce their own pools. Whether or not they are sincere, or are just trying to play the same scam Nexious did, I don't know.
In light of this, I decided to open up my own pool. I figured I'd do the community a favor and offer my own. No frills, no BS. The pool is here for a simple reason: to give you a choice. The pool mines BTC. No merge mining. No alt coins. Straight up BTC mining.
You can see my announcement here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104664.msg13126185#msg13126185
I've actually updated the maximum difficulty since I wrote that to better manage large hash miners. Here are the current specs:
Pool: Jonny Bravo's Mining Emporium
Website: http://www.bravo-mining.com
Proxy: No
Generation address: 14KxdJ7DfAPsxCYkpcDTcKotjeProcfRPo
Coinbase signature: /bravo-mining/
Payout method: PPLNS
Fee: 0.5%
Pay Tx Reward: Yes
Vardiff: starts at 1042. Range from 8 to 1048576.
Local Work: stratum
Pay Orphans: No
Min Withdrawal: 0.001
Merge Mining: No
Location: US
I've actually held off making this announcement and soft launched the pool at the end of November. Well, now I'm making it public.
The pool has already found its first block: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/block/000000000000000003c3a6ee87941ea88ab99490e7774ae25dc48deb9aa2bf72
Oh... and here's the important bit... the miners were paid for their contributions
.
How to connect typical miners:
US
For large hash rate renters, I've opened up port 3334. Starting diff is 2097151. Minimum diff is 1048575. Max is 16777215.
US
For miners with an S2 or similar device that doesn't play well with vardiff, I've opened up port 3999. This is a fixed diff of 999 and should help lower your reject rates.
US
For miners with firewall blocks or issues, I've opened up port 80. This is a vardiff port. Starting diff is 10042. Min diff is 1042. Max diff is 1048576.
US
So, if you're looking for somewhere to point your hash, give us a try. You aren't going to get scammed, bamboozled, swindled or defrauded here. Proof is in the pudding: we've found our first block and miners were paid.
